ITCZ to bring rains to most of PH

Most of the Philippines will experience continued rains on Thursday due to the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), according to PAGASA.

Areas such as Palawan, Occidental Mindoro, Western Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, BARMM, Soccsksargen, Misamis Occidental, Lanao del Norte, and Davao Occidental are expected to have scattered rain showers and thunderstorms.

PAGASA warned that moderate to heavy rains in these regions could lead to flash floods or landslides.

The ITCZ will also bring isolated rain showers or thunderstorms to Bicol Region, the rest of Mimaropa, Visayas, and Mindanao.

Localized thunderstorms are predicted to cause isolated rain showers or thunderstorms in Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon.

PAGASA noted that severe thunderstorms could also trigger flash floods or landslides.

Light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas are expected across the archipelago.

No low pressure areas are anticipated to form or enter the country until Friday, but scattered rains will persist in the western part of the Philippines.
